Get Your Diva on -

This is the first time I have participated in the Get Your Diva On Challenge by Verve Stamps. You had to take a store gift card and be inspired by that to make your card. Well lets just say this was EXTREMELY hard for me, to take something flat and put dimension to it, and not to have a plain card, and not know if a sketch would look right, I had this vision of using the dress form as the guy, so I started there (would soooo much rather follow sketches) LOL - but hey it's how I will learn right!

So anyway, I only had a DSW gift card in my wallet and it was super boring, so I googled some of my fave stores, and ones I have had in the past and this is what caught my eye....

And this is what I came up with....

I started with stamping the Tim Holtz dressform, then used a stencil on the side, Then used a mask and sponged over it, then added the purple strip and sewed, then stamped the No. 5 then had a heck of the time figuring out how to attach the key, I didn't have any black twine, so I found this wire and just scrunched it and threw it in there... Overall I think it works... what do you think????

How adorably artsy - love it! You've got a great eye for building backgrounds - keep it up! SO .... Donna Downey's classes were fab.u.lous! If you EVER have an opportunity, go for it. Definitely worth the time, money, and fun! I haven't got pics up yet, but it's on my to-do list. Enjoy your weekend!

About Me

I am a SAHM of a crazy little, keeps my on my toes, 4 year old boy! I have been married for 8 years to my DH. I have lived in Kentucky for 2 years now. It finally feels like home. It is here that I have grown to love Stamping, Card-Making, Crocheting, Knitting, Sewing, Mixed Media. I have learned that ART can be LEARNED. That Passion can LEAD to ADVENTURES that take you places you never DREAMED you could go. ART expresses things I can’t quite put into words or FEAR saying ALOUD. It is a QUIET sometimes ROARING whisper of my HEART that speaks to the WORLD. I have been REDEEMED by a GLORIOUS GRACIOUS GOD and am devoted to serving and obeying HIM in all things!!!
